Title: Improvements in Fluid Pressure Actuated Impact Tools
Inventor: CLEMENT JOHN FRANKLIN
Filed: 1902-04-08
Granted: 1902-06-05
Abstract: 8155. Clement, J. F. April 8. Percussive hand tools.-Fig. 1 shows one form of tool in which elastic fluid, during the forward stroke, enters the cylinder 6 through openings 15 in the valve 8. These openings communicate with the groove 14 in the valve, which, in the position shown, communicates with the groove 23 in the cylinder. The groove 23 is always supplied with the fluid by channels 16, 17. The exhaust takes place through a channel 18, valve groove 13, and a groove 24 always in communication with the external air by means of a lateral channel. When the piston 9 has passed the opening 20, the fluid passes along the channels 21, and, acting on the enlarged top of the valve, shifts it downwards. The backward stroke then takes place, the channel 18 and groove 13 then communicating with the groove 23, and the openings 15 and groove 14 communicating with another lateral exhaust channel arranged beneath and parallel to that above mentioned. The valve is forced back by the fluid entrapped in the valve, this fluid also serving to cushion the piston. In a modification, the valve is solid and slides in a chamber at right-angles to the cylinder. Fig. 9 shows another form in which the valve has two heads united by a stem 8<c>. The upper head puts the upper passage leading to the cylinder alternately in communication with the inlet aperture 17<b> and with the exhaust aperture 22<b>. The lower head puts the passage 18<b>, provided with openings 18<c>, 18<d>, alternately, in communication with the exhaust aperture 19<b> and the space 35 supplied with the motive fluid. As before, the valve is moved in one direction by the entrapped fluid, which acts as a cushion above the piston on its return stroke, and in the opposite direction by fluid passing through apertures 20<b>, 21<b> and acting on the enlarged heads 10<b> of the valve. The lower end of the channel 18<b> remains closed and the tool inoperative until the piece 40 for riveting &c. is pressed against the work. The spring-pressed sleeve 41 is then pressed back, so that the motive fluid can pass through the aperture 42 of the cylinder.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Conducting Materials for Electricity applicable more particularly for use in the Rubbing or Sliding Contacts of Dynamos and Electric Motors.
Inventor: LOEWENDAHL VICTOR
Filed: 1902-07-31
Granted: 1903-01-22
Abstract: 17,002. L÷wendahl, V. July 31. Brushes and collectors.-Relates to the manufacture of conducting-materials for electricity, more particularly for use in the rubbing or sliding contacts of dynamos and electric motors. The conducting-material is produced by coating or plating grains of carbon with copper, tin, or other metal, and compressing them, preferably in vacuo, into a hard or solid mass. The grains of carbon may be coated with copper or tin by mixing them with about 5 per cent. of zinc powder and immersing them in a solution of copper sulphate or of a stannic salt. They may also be coated by electrolysis, but must in that case be kept in a state of agitation by stirring or other means to prevent them from sticking to one another. When tin is employed, the compressed body may be heated so as to solder the particles together.

Title: A New or Improved Process and Apparatus for Feeding Boilers with Instantaneous Vaporization.
Inventor: CASTELNAU MARCELLIN
Filed: 1902-08-19
Granted: 1903-06-25
Abstract: 18,241. Castelnau, M. Aug. 19. Feedwater, supplying. - Relates to means for feeding water and air to a mixed steam and air generator. The feedwater, mixed with air, is sup- plied to an instantaneous boiler independently of the action of the main engine. Fig. 1 shows in eleva- tion the whole plant, Fig. 2 a vertical section of a steam pump, which, sucking and discharging a mixture of air and water, may be employed, and Fig. 4 another method of mixing the air and water. The feed is supplied to the boiler from the reser- voir 2, which contains the water under pressure of air or other gas. The amount of feed entering the boiler is regulated by a cock. The air may be forced in independently of the water or by the pump 7, which supplies both air and steam. By charging the feed with air, the water, when entering the boiler, is subdivided, with the consequent in- crease in rapidity of vaporization. To increase the subdivision, the air-charged water, as it enters the boiler, may be forced through a constricted aper- ture. As regards Fig. 2, the steam-actuated piston 9, together with the rod 5, reciprocates upon the fixed plunger, which contains the suction passage 13 and the discharge passage 14 with their respective valves. Water is drawn in through the cock 18 and air through the cock 19, the mixture being discharged to the reservoir by the pipe 6. In place of one suction passage, two may be employed. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, the water is sucked through a pipe 23 which contains the pipe 24 for taking in air.

Patent GB-190321640-A (GB)
Title: Variable Speed and Brake Gear.
Inventor: STURGESS GEORGE FREDERICK
Filed: 1903-10-08
Granted: 1904-10-08
Abstract: 21,640. Sturgess, G. F. Oct. 8. Driving-mechanism; brakes.-Two-speed driving and braking mechanism for cycles &c. is arranged in the form of a hub 1 carrying spoke rings for a wheel. The hub is mounted on two ball rings 2, 3 of which the balls of ring 3 rest on the outer ring 10 of the epicyclic train. The ring 10 is connected to the frame 9 which runs by balls 4 on the cone 7 and carries the driving-sprocket. At one end the hub receives a cone 18, on the outer end of which the ring 15 of a spring 17 is fitted. The other end of the spring 17 is formed as a ring 16, and is externally threaded to engage with a screw in a sleeve carried by the planet-wheel disc 13 so that, in driving, the sleeve and spring are screwed together to produce a driving friction at the coned part 15a. The cone 18 is internally threaded at its smaller end so as to engage with a threaded sleeve 20 which, in certain conditions, causes the cone 18 to engage with the cone 5 and produce a braking action. The epicyclic train consists of an internally-toothed ring 10 mounted solid with the driving-sprocket and engaging with a series of planet-wheels 11 mounted on the disc 13. The planet-wheels engage with a sun-wheel 12 which can slide on the central shaft. The sun-wheel is coned internally at each end, and is also toothed so as to engage positively with one or other of the screw cones 20, 21. The cones are threaded with right and left handed screws respectively, and have returning-springs. The cones move forward under a back-pedalling action, and cause the sun-wheel to be traversed longitudinally to change the gear. In the position shown, the drive is solid and gives the high speed, and when thrown over, the gear is reduced by the epicyclic train. In the slow-speed position, a continued back pressure puts on the brake. The sun-wheel is caused to complete its traverse by a dished spring 22. The Provisional Specification refers to a third motion for producing a backward drive ; the sun-wheel is stated to be mounted on a one-way clutch sleeve ; the speedchanging clutches are stated to be intervening between the brake and the epicyclic train, and the planet-wheels are described as let into diagonal slots in the planet-wheel disc to obviate the use of pivots and to prevent the sun-wheel from rotating backwards.
